Blocks are occasionally activated by [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]]es in courses such as [[Wet-Dry World]] and [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. In these cases, the blocks are always empty and they are used more as platforms than containers. | '''Blocks''',<ref>"''Press the Z button while jumping to squash enemies or to destroy blocks.''" – ''Super Mario 64'' English instruction booklet, pg. 15</ref> also known as '''boxes''',<ref>"''Break the mountain of stacked boxes.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', "block" is now used as an umbrella term for several similar objects.<ref name=DS>''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet, pg. 28</ref> The functional equivalents to the original blocks are known as '''Bricks'''<ref name=DS/> and have an appearance similar to orange [[Brick Block | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', "block" is now used as an umbrella term for several similar objects.<ref name=DS>''Super Mario 64 DS'' instruction booklet, pg. 28</ref> The functional equivalents to the original blocks are known as '''Bricks'''<ref name=DS/> and have an appearance similar to orange [[Brick Block]]s, no longer sharing their cork-like texture with Crates. They are also much more common than before. Some Bricks contain [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]s, but this is quite rare. Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can also break Bricks, but [[Yoshi]] cannot break them with any of his attacks unless he has eaten a mushroom. In addition, '''Black Bricks'''<ref name=DS/> are introduced as a variant of block that can be broken only by Wario. However, any player character can break them with the help of a mushroom. The other two types of block are the Crate and the [[Ice Block|Ice]]. Despite the original design not appearing in the game, it can be seen in reused artwork of Mario's actions in the manual. | ||
In ''[[Mario Party]]'', boxes appear in the minigame [[Box Mountain Mayhem]]. The goal of this [[minigame]] is to destroy as many boxes as possible, as many of them contain coins and [[coin bag]]s. However, among the large "mountain," there are also [[Crazed Crate|Whomp Block]]s disguised as these boxes, which move the characters who attack them away from the mountain.<br> | In ''[[Mario Party]]'', boxes appear in the minigame [[Box Mountain Mayhem]].
